• Select the block of text on each page of a sudden and resize them

  Hello, I want to do a 400 pages of text. How can I select the block of text on each page of a sudden and change their size at the same time? (each block of text is the same size per page)

  Make a backup copy of the file incase something goes wrong, then:

  Ensure that executives align on the margins on all sides - change margins of the master page applied to achieve, if necessary.

  Allow the adjustment of the layout (layout > setting layout...)

  On the master page, change the margins to be the size you want the new text frame dimensions to be.

  If, for some strange reason, you won't use these margin settings in the layout, turn off the setting of page layout and reset them on the master page again to what you want.

• Is there a way to automatically assign the first fields of each page for each participant?

  I send you a document to three people to sign and each person needs to initial each page. Is it possible to automatically add an initial field on each page for each participant, or do I have to drag the initial field to each page for each participant?

  It is a unique document, BTW.

  Hello Joannaw75509803,

  You must manually add each original field at the location in the document and also, if you wish, you can use text tags that you add to the document before downloading in EchoSign and form fields would be created automatically. This is the same documentation:

• I can auto adjust all the blocks of text with overset text?

  Due to several factors (change computers, versions of different fonts, etc.), I had to change most of the fonts in my text-heavy document.

  There are a lot of charts and tables in this 125-page document, and now most of all text frames have overset text.

  The new font is in fact identical to the previous one, however, there are a few differences that are causing it take more text frames. I tried to adjust the line spacing in my character and paragraph styles, but these do not seem to effect.

  Is there a way to automatically adjust all frames in excess to account for the new font?

  Thanks in advance.

  Not sure that the result will be 100% desirable, but there is a way to define all frames to auto-size...

  Run find/replace and choose the tab object.

  Down, choose the Document research: menu. Choose the blocks of text such as: menu.

  Click the icon of glass/frame next to the search Object Format field:

  

  In the Options of Format object search dialog box, choose Auto setting 'Off' on the text size Options > menu automatic sizing:

  

  Click OK, and then click the icon / window next to the subject of change Format field:

  

  In the change object Format Options dialog box, choose 'Height' only on the text size Options framework Auto > auto-size menu, and then click the up button in the Center in the framework - pinning proxy:

  Note: Another option for pinning would be better according to your presentations, but this setting will make executives grow at the bottom, which seems the most logical... in most cases.

  

  Click OK, and then change all.

• Deleting all the blocks of text hidden unexpectedly removes blocks of text embedded (but visible). Why?

  I try to use the code below to remove all the blocks of text hidden in a document. It is works quite well, BUT for some reason, removes the visible anchor text blocks.

  (the argument currentTextFrame.length is to prevent it remove hidden text blocks if the content is threaded, in which case the text is redéroule then in blocks of text that is visible.) I need to find a solution to this, but it's tomorrow problem.)
  

  I have a similar function to allGraphics and does not remove the anchored frames.

  Can someone point me in the right direction? I can add a check to see if the text block is anchored, but I fear that I might get bored the biggest problem.

  var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
  var myTextFrames = myDocument.stories.everyItem().textContainers.reverse();
  var myTextFramesLength = myTextFrames.length;
  for ( i = 0; i < myTextFramesLength; i++ ){
       var currentTextFrame = myTextFrames[i];
       if ((!currentTextFrame.visable) && (currentTextFrame.length ===1)){
            currentTextFrame[0].remove();
       }
  }

  Hi Naomi,

  and there is an array of arrays with:

  myDocument.stories.everyItem().textContainers
  

  Try this:

  var a = app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().textContainers;
  for(var n=0;n
  I suggest the following, which should work:
  var doc = app.documents[0];
  var myStoriesArray = doc.stories.everyItem().getElements();
  var storiesLength = myStoriesArray.length;
  
  var textContainersToRemoveIDs = [];
  
  for(var n=0;n

• Heights of game for all the blocks of text in a document

  Looking to do something seemingly simple. I want all the blocks of text in my document to the same height.

  Here's where I am.

  app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem () .height = "2.3195 in."

  Note: I work in InDesign CS5.

  Any help on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.

  Or, in the CS6 and later*:

  var NEW_HEIGHT = '2.3195 in';
  
  // MULTIPLE RESIZE() IN ONE STEP
  // =============================
  app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().resize(
  
      // Target bounding box(es) -- Use OUTER_STROKE_BOUNDS if needed
      // ---
      [CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES, BoundingBoxLimits.GEOMETRIC_PATH_BOUNDS],
  
      // Reference point -- Here resize is performed relative to the top edge
      // ---
      AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR,
  
      // Absolute replacement
      // ---
      ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH,
  
      // [width, height] in points
      // ---
      [ResizeConstraints.KEEP_CURRENT_VALUE, +UnitValue(NEW_HEIGHT).as('pt')]
      );
  

  * Can operate CS5. x too, but I think remember that CS4 has a bug where resize() is a plural specifier whose receptors belong to several blocks spread.

• by selecting all the blocks of text on all visible layers

  I want to select all the blocks of text on all visible layers.

  the script below will select all the blocks of text, even in groups, but if the layer with the text is invisible the script error. (target layer cannot be changed)

  If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

  var doc = app.activeDocument;

  var numTextFrames = 0;

  for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i ++) {}

  textArtRange = doc.textFrames [i];

  textArtRange.selected = true;

  }

  }

  So I made this script to select blocks of text on only visible layers, but now missing text belonging to a group.

  var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;

  var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;

  for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i ++)

  {

  currentLayer = activeDocument.layers [i];

  If (currentLayer.visible == visible)

  {

  for (j = 0; j < currentLayer.textFrames.length; j ++) {}

  textArtRange = currentLayer.textFrames [j];

  textArtRange.selected = true;

  }

  }

  }

  can someone tell me why it is not some frames of text bound in a group when made this way and is it possible to get all managers of related texts selected on all visible layers?

  Thank you

  Duane

  Try this:

  if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
      var numTextFrames = 0;
      for (  i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
          try {
          textArtRange = doc.textFrames[i];
          textArtRange.selected = true;
          } catch (e) {}
          }

• Copy the block of text in most of the pages

  Using CS4. I am designing a photo book and want to add a caption below photos on most of the pages.

  How to copy a block of text to most of the pages of the book, positioned at the same place on each page?

  Looks a very basic thing to want to do, but impossible to find some sort of obvious way to do.

  Must have something to do with master pages.

  Master page would certainly be a way to do it. Put the rframe on the master, then substitute ([Ctrl on windows] Cmd + Shift-click on the page docuent to release a Master object) to enter text or remove images or place text in the frame (without replacement) from an external file.

• Is it possible to add a context menu to the blocks of text?

  I try to add an element of context menu for text blocks, I'm kind of a begginner with Creative Suite Extension Builder, I found out how to add a context menu, but not how to add it based on what the user right click. If anyone can point me in the right direction (with a bit of the code example will help a lot), I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance!

  You're talking about adding a menu item to the "layout context Menu. Right? If you need the text context Menu, then it's simple...

  Here's what you need to do in this case: you need to fix a BEFORE_DISPLAY event on the menu and check what is the currently selected item. If it is a block of text, you add the menu item. If this isn't the case, you delete it. (You will obviously need to check if it is already there first...)

  Make sure you only to add and remove menu item and not the associated scriptMenuAction.

• Add points to the block of text, possible?

  Is it possible to add a point to a block of text with a script?

  Before:

  

  After:

  

  Sure. A text block is a geometric shape than any other; in InDesign, it is just a rectangle.

  All geometric shapes in InDesign consist of one or more paths - all have a property "paths" as a table. Each path contains a pathPoints array and is what you would use to add a corner.

  Because you can not really sure what is the lower right corner, this script does not immediately change the pathPoints. Rather, it copies the path, trying to find the corner (not sure if it is 'the way'), adds two points after that and these points moves to the Insert.

  myRect = app.selection[0];
  myPath = myRect.paths[0];
  myPathPoints = myPath.entirePath;
  // Determine lower right -- not sure if it's always the same!
  corner = 0;
  for (a=1; a myPathPoints[corner][0])
    corner = a;
   if (myPathPoints[a][1] > myPathPoints[corner][1])
    corner = a;
  }
  // Add two point 'after' corner
  // Use old corner point as model
  p1 = [myPathPoints[corner][0], myPathPoints[corner][1]];
  p2 = [myPathPoints[corner][0], myPathPoints[corner][1]];
  myPathPoints.splice (corner+1,0, p1, p2);
  // Move x of original corner point
  myPathPoints[corner][0] -= 5;
  // Move x and y of new angle point
  p1[0] -= 5;
  p1[1] -= 5;
  // Move y of back-to-frame point
  p2[1] -= 5;
  // Put modified path back into object
  myPath.entirePath = myPathPoints;
  

• Automatically add the word "immediately" after a title

  Is it possible to add the word "suite" automatically after a chapter title, on page 2, 3, etc.

  You need to have different master pages

  A master for the first page with the title on the subject

  then to duplicate A template to Master B

  On the Master B change the text block and insert 'suite '.

  You need to apply a Master to the first page, then B Master on the following pages.

• Breakpoint - not able to move the block of text at a breakpoint

  Adobe 2015.1.0.2309 Muse.

  I have a few breakpoints set on my page. When I jump to one of them my expectation is that I'll be able to format the page for this breakpoint.

  I want to move a block of text right of a picture to a picture below when I get to a certain page width. If I click on the breakpoint for the width of the page, but when I hover over the text block I have an icon that says 'Click to go straight at the stop'. When I rubbed it in my larger page break.

  Starting point:

  

  I want to move the text under the image block when I'm about to stop 750, so I post the width of the page at 750. However when I place the mouse on the text block I just get the message "click to go directly at the breakpoint.

  

  If I click on the Muse goes back to as in the first photo.

  How can I actually select me the text block, so I can re - position?

  Hello

  Screen captures, it seems that you have created the breakpoints on the master page. Master page breakpoints do not automatically carry over ordinary pages; You must explicitly create (click on the white triangle on the breakpoint bar to go to the location of the main breakpoint and then click on the button '+'). Once you have a breakpoint on the regular page, you will be able to replace the text block as you wish.

  I hope this helps.

• The blocks of text move in Muse

  I'm having a problem with the moving blocks of text. I'm trying to place a block of text on a chart. They are in the same layer. The graphic (png since Illustrator) is x 50px 960px. the text block is x 50px 200px. (Picture the graph under a brace of section and the text is the name of the section).

  I diligently to align the graphic frame and text to align horizontally (they have the same value of Y). In design mode, they are lined up. (The text is centered in the image horizontally) In preview, the text is is more aligned to the Center with the graph below him.

  I tried all PIN for browser, pin it to the page and not pin code... I was even considering sticking a PIN in my eye, but that seems not good either... I had this same problem with the other blocks of text as well. (Coincidentally also in addition to a PNG in Illustrator.) I had the text block completely disappear in the preview when pinned.

  I don't know that this is one of those really stoopid things simple if you know what to do, it's very simple... but if you do not have...

  The big question... What is the trick to get the text to appear in the same preview as it appears in the design?

  Someone got this?
